TIMBER FLOORING
Natural, Elegant and Durable
Engineered timber flooring consists of a layer of solid timber pre-finished with protective coatings to provide the same luxurious look and feel as solid timber floorboards.
Designed with an innovative locking system, engineered timber flooring can be laid over existing flooring materials such as concrete or compressed fibreboard.
Its straightforward installation process also means that it is now more convenient than ever to enjoy the sophistication and warmth of real timber in your home.
Floating Floor Comparison

- Can be glued down to sub floor (more costly that floating)
- Requires underlay when installed as floating floor
